Every year I buy and print out a monthly calendar from somewhere on the internet. I stick two months on the fridge, and fill in extracurriculars, sports games, birthday parties and business trips so that we're all on the same page, literally.

It helps me and hubby to curb the chaos and plan ahead, and serves as a great count-down for the girls – now we don't have to mentally calculate how many sleeps to this or that, I send the kids to the fridge. Extra maths practice for the win.

And now Parent24 designed our own FREE monthly calendars for 2019 so you can join in the "Look at me, I'm getting organised!" fun.

Each monthly calendar prints out on A4 landscape. We used pastels to not gobble up too much printer's ink, even if you're printing grey scale. Look out for more designs coming later!
